Seves Group S.à r.l. (“Seves Group”) established an “Integrity Line” (also called “whistleblowing line”) where non-compliance issues can be reported. The Integrity Line of Seves is a web-based system which provides for a high degree of data security. It can be accessed via Seves’ website under the new section “Compliance” and is open 24 hours a day/7 days a week. The Integrity Line concerns all entities of Seves Group.

In the context of the Integrity Line, Seves Group S.à r.l., acting as data controller, will process personal data of its employees and third parties reporting any misconduct, notably their name, surname, address, e-mail address, function, services provided, professional assessment, information concerning a report related to a potential breach (the “Personal Data”), for the purposes of the prevention of fraud and misconduct in respect of accounting internal accounting controls, auditing matters and the fight against corruption and bribery, banking and financial crime, conflict of interest, violation of environmental laws and regulations, violation of health and safety regulations, discrimination and harassment of employees, and anti-competitive behavior (the “Data Processing”).
